Prompted by a live viewing from my state capitol, of a legislative hearing on Health Insurance Exchanges [HIX]...I suggest Patriots find out what your state is planing. From what I could glean, is that consulting firms are waiting in the wings to *assist* states in running this mandate, licking their chops; a great deal of time was spent discussing this mandate as a *revenue steam* for states, and which states will outsource the administration of HIX programs.

Interesting that Alaska is the only state not doing anything toward even discussing HIX.

I will have to say that I don't think exchanges are going to fix the problem with our healthcare system. I just don't know enough about them. When government creates another social program, I tremble.

Christie just vetoed HIX for NJ: http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2012/05/10/n-j-s-christie-vetoes-creation-of-health-insurance-exchange/

Montana lefties are jumping all over this and selling it to the public like it’s a seperate entity then government. When asked where they are getting the money? The government. Wrong I tell them. It’s us we the producers because the government doesn’t have sh!t until they steal it from us.

I was freaking out listening to the yahoos in our state capitol using the terms *revenue stream*, upstream*, *Washington money to fund it by 2014*...and it wasn't just the LIEberals talking.

There's nothing like wanting to blow your brains out early in the morning, B4 you even had a 2nd cuppa!

No one said a word about the law *possibly* being overturned by the SCOTUS....they were forging ahead as if it was a fait de complet. GRRR!

States that don't opt to work with the federal government at all will have to use a fully federally run exchange beginning in 2014. Oh goody!

I understand Washington state is fully on board with this fiasco. You silly guys on the wet coast!
